Why the U of M?

It’s March at the U of M and that means two things: midterm season and an unpredictable mix of spring and winter weather. My week was going to be difficult with multiple tests and assignments, but today one of my instructors extended a due date for an assignment which gives me more time in my schedule. Next week, I’m looking forward to spring break to take some time to relax and spend time with family and friends.

Some of you might be up to other things besides midterms, like deciding where you want to attend college in the fall. Choosing the college you’ll attend is a big decision. When I was deciding where I wanted to go to school, I had a few main concerns: Did the college have the major I wanted? Could I get involved and would I fit in? Would I be able to have the experience I envisioned?

In the end, the U of M was definitely a great fit for me. I’m happily studying public relations and communications studies. I’m very involved in my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, and have been involved in other student groups throughout my time on campus.
